Pew says that Missouri had a net gain of about 14,000 last year. According to their study, those gains were of Whites and Hispanics while there was a net loss of Blacks and Asians.

I wonder what this says about the Political makeup of Missouri. I’m inclined to think that this gain is increasingly shifting the landscape purple (from red). Especially as the majority of these movers are coming from traditionally blue states. Notice that Illinois & NY are losing alot. Although, the folks moving out of Illinois (and maybe into Missouri are probably from south of I-80, which means they are most likely republican. So…who knows…
